attack of the margaritas

Written on May 4, 2012 by in my artsy stuff, watercolor

As I’ve been doing most of my socializing outside the house this week, I have no lovely cocktail to share today! But since I did enjoy several tequila concoctions at Tacolicious in the Mission this week, with Sharon (Ms. Casa Murriguez herself) and tomorrow is the granddaddy of tequila soaked holidays, here’s a little digital margarita for you all. Given the tastiness of the Paloma I sampled there, I might need to get on a new illustration…

(Tacolicious, btw, was pretty delicious and packed with the weirdest Mission crowd, even at 5:30 on a Wednesday. So interesting that a somewhat expensive taqueria would thrive smack dab in the middle of the Mission. Now just to get that crowd as our own customer base….)

a little mountain sketch

Written on March 13, 2010 by in my artsy stuff, watercolor

I’m going through all my sketch books and scanning them, and came across this one. I think I drew this after watching Where the Wild Things Are (remember the scene of one of the wild things’ model town?)

smoke cloud of doom

blocky and the green cloud



Little blocky and the smoke cloud of doom is now available as a print in my shop.

I’m super pleased with the colors on this print. It took A LOT of time to match my original color choices in the original. It really matches the transparency and depth of the original watercolor, which I posted a few months ago.

In other news, The Bruery, a southern California beer brewery caught wind of one of my illustrations of their Melange No. Seches beer and featured it on their blog! I’m super excited (as you can see here) since they make some amazing creative beer. Be on the lookout for some more Bruery beer inspired art, over at my daily drawing project MEAT SECTIONS.

OK. Now I’m off to the beach to enjoy a rare warm sunny February day here in SF!

life line


I was feeling kind of in a rut lately and decided to just sit down and do something different.

I’m in an e-course taught by Marisa of Creative Thursday, and the last class touched on issues of procrastination and inspiration. I’m always interested in hearing about other folk’s creative processes, because most of the time, I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing. Marisa mentioned that she often just sets aside time to paint, even if she doesn’t have a pre-conceived idea of what she will be painting. I really haven’t ever worked like that, choosing instead just to draw or paint when inspiration “strikes.” This was my attempt at trying a different way for doing things.

This is what I came up with. Much more abstract than usual, but I like it.

A little illustration I did a while back. Because sometimes you just get a tiny bit mad.

Illustration Friday – CLUMSY

Written on January 26, 2010 by in blocky, Illustration Friday, my artsy stuff, watercolor
original 5×5, watercolor and ink on 90lb watercolor paper


Illustration for this week, topic of clumsy.

I’ll admit that I have posted this painting before on my blog, but it just seemed so appropriate that I had to share for this week’s IF.

Original post here, but reproduced below.

I’m a recovering klutz.

Growing up, I seemed to spill everything. all the time. I also had an uncanny knack for whacking the shit out of my elbows on door frames, you know, just walking around the house. I’m going to go ahead and blame that on what must be exceptionally narrow door frames in my childhood home in Texas, since I haven’t done it my apartment here in SF.

But the spilling….yeah, that still happens. I used to get really upset when I spilled things, like it was proof of something wrong with me. ( I think I was really hard on myself growing up). Now, I don’t care. Which is much better. At least for my psyche….not for the carpet (which, now that I’m thinking about it, has a new largish coffee stain, courtesy of yours truly from last weekend.)

At least steve has become an absolute pro at spill alleviation and stain removal. He can add that to the old resume.

Update: Since this originally was posted, I have spilled wine at least twice. In the last month. I may not be so “recovering” after all.

"his moustache wanted more out of life"

Written on January 15, 2010 by in blocky, everythingistheworst, my artsy stuff, watercolor
4×6″, watercolor and ink on watercolor paper.
Part 47C of the “everything is the worst series”

Other contenders for the title of this bad boy included:

  • “The moustache* grew too big for its britches”
  • “Combover moustache – the next hipster frontier”
  • “This was getting out of hand”

and

  • “The moustache decided it was time to exact its revenge”


*I know that spell checker believes this to be a misspelling (favoring “mustache”) I think the addition of the “o” provides a tiny bit of class, no?

In ode to one of my favorite bands, and winner of my prestigious Best Album of 2009 award with Dragonslayer, Sunset Rubdown. Although some days I think I might like Swan Lake’s version of “Paper Lace” a liiiiiiitle bit more.
